What kinds of repair needs do you usually run into that require vendor's technicians? Is it e.g. electrical, or are they the stereotypical "everything is a computer" type of problems that everybody complains about in cars? Can you try to fix even mechanical problems yourself, or are those typically not the issue?

Asking out of plain curiosity.

It depends on the OEM, but in the worst cases it’s essentially anything. You can’t even change your own oil.
